Employer Innovation Lab – register your interest
The Employer Innovation Lab helps organisations rethink how they recruit, retain, and support young people, focusing on those who haven’t followed the university path.
Register nowThe barriers for young people
Young people, particularly those without university degrees, bring energy and potential, but many face challenges getting started:
- Moving from school to work isn’t always straightforward.
- Many are stuck in part-time roles and need more hours.
- Outdated hiring practices are keeping workplaces out of reach.
Get involved
The Lab aims to support employers to improve non-university pathways into good-quality jobs. There are no fees to join, but to participate in the Lab, you must:
- Be a medium-large employer committed to improving opportunities for local young people
- identify a senior leader champion
- Nominate 2-3 staff to attend the 2-day in-person kick-off workshop,
- Engage with the program for up to 12 months.
And through your pilot, commit to:
- Focus on non-university pathways
- Explore opportunities to lift barriers to work
- Improve and embed inclusive practices
- Attract, retain and develop staff.
